Question
The logo, for a company that makes chocolate, is a sector of a circle of radius 2 cm, shown as shaded in the diagram. The area of the logo is 3π cm2.
Find, in radians, the value of the angle θ, as indicated on the diagram.
Find the total length of the perimeter of the logo.
Markscheme
METHOD 1
area=π22−1222θ(=3π) M1A1
Note: Award M1 for using area formula.
⇒2θ=π⇒θ=π2 A1
Note: Degrees loses final A1
METHOD 2
let x=2π−θ
area=1222x(=3π) M1
⇒x=32π A1
⇒θ=π2 A1
METHOD 3
Area of circle is 4π A1
Shaded area is 34 of the circle (R1)
⇒θ=π2 A1
[3 marks]
arc length=23π2 A1
perimeter=23π2+2×2
=3π+4 A1
[2 marks]

Examiners report
Good methods. Some candidates found the larger angle.
Generally good, some forgot the radii.
